�If you currently own multiple hotel properties, or plan to in the near future, and are considering formation of a management company, then you don�t want
to miss this special educational opportunity,� according to Bakulesh �Buggsi� Patel, chairman of AAHOA for 2000 and CEO of Oregon-based Buggsi
Hospitality Group, which owns and operates 17 hotels in the Pacific Northwest.

Currently, the five participating firms are Diplomat Hotels in Atlanta, Georgia; Hersha Enterprises in Allentown, Pennsylvania; JHM Hotels in Greenville, South Carolina; Sree Hospitality in Charlotte, North Carolina; and Noble Investment Group in Atlanta, Georgia.
